The present invention provides an image forming device terminal for enhancing the productivity of the image forming process such as printing. An image forming device terminal for instructing execution of a printout process on an image forming device capable of executing an authentication print printing, includes a selection accepting unit which accepts a selection of an image forming device for executing the printout process from a plurality of image forming devices; a determination unit which classifies the selected image forming device to a first type image forming device or a second type image forming device based on whether or not the selected image forming device is a default set image forming device; and a generating unit which generates job data as a printout process of not the authentication print printing in a case where the selected image forming device is the first type image forming device, and generates job data as a printout process of the authentication print printing in a case where the image forming device is the second type image forming device.

摘要:
Under a contention between a copy job and a print job, it is possible that a general user misunderstands that the payment he has made for the copy job is mistakenly used on the print job requested by another user. One solution to avoid such undesirable possibility is to display information indicating that the billing process is correctly done. Yet, the general user may fail to notice the display. In view of this, a billing and printing system prevents occurrence of job contention as long as the balance of payment made by a general user remains. An MFP included in the system does not accept any print job if a balance of received payment remains, and does not accept any payment if there is a queued print job.
